Export Layers not appearing in menu - error during startup

The following appears on the terminal after starting gimp from the command line (obviously its installed in my home directory config).

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/alan/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/export_layers.py", line 41, in <module>
    import gimpenums
ImportError: No module named gimpenums
gimp: LibGimpBase-WARNING: gimp: gimp_wire_read(): error

Version of Export Layers: I presume its 3.3.1 - latest download of a few minutes ago

Version of GIMP: 2.10.22

Operating system: linux Debian Buster.

Workaround for Ubuntu

• do not use Ubuntu version (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1881684)
• use Flatpack version
  • sudo apt install flatpack
  • sudo flatpak install https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/org.gimp.GIMP.flatpakref
  • flatpak run org.gimp.GIMP//stable

It can access to ~/.config/GIMP/2.10/plug-ins/ so loads the plugin 🎆

Documentation suggestion

I’ll very probably make a PR to add to the doc a pre-require to check if Gimp Python is active: "check that you’ve Python-Fu entry in Filters menu.

Is there any solution possible on Debian 11 (Bullseye)?

I’m getting the same issue as well, and there’s no python2-gimp or gimp-python for me that I can install from upstream.
